What was the color of Awlgrip that you used on the hull above the waterline?

Bill,
Is the Awlgrip (Desert Sand) a match to the deck color?
With best regards,

Since you didn't specify who you were asking, I will answer: Awlgrip desert sand is what I used on BeBe 387. It is the color of the 55. Best,

No, it is a match to waterline color of the Amel 55. I guess the non-directed question was not meant for me.

We painted the boot stripe on Aloha in Awlgrip Desert sand in the style of the Amel 54. The hull was painted in Awlgrip eggshell white. The rubrail was custom mixed Awlgrip with the color of a Trojan battery used as an example. The rubrail color looks perfect. The inside channel of the rub rail was also painted in Desert Sand, and looks very nice. Steve Davis Aloha SM 72 Hawaii On Feb 6, 2019, at 13:41, Bill Rouse brouse@...

On the subject of the deck strips, in order to
retain the timber grain effect of the stripes, how was the
preparation achieved. Obviously, by sanding the deck would sand
away the timber grain effect to a smoother finish. Kind

First, all the tan gel coat is sanded of by several workers over a period of a week. After some prep work, the boat is masked, and decks sprayed with a white primer. More finish prep work is done to the primed decks, and then decks are sprayed with 3 coats of Awlgrip egg shell white color. All the grooves are now masked with a fine line tape. Decks are now sprayed with 3 coats of Awlgrip castle tan color mixed with fine Awlgrip grit. The mixed in grit gives you a better non skid than the original decks. You now pull the fine line tape, and voila...beautiful new decks. This is a very labor intensive process, and requires a yard in some part of the world with lower labor cost to make it cost effective. You also need a fairly talented painting contractor to do the work, and an owner willing to be there to keep everyone honest. It our case, all of that happened in Trinidad in 2016. Let me know if you need any other info or pictures of the end result. Regards, Steve Davis Aloha SM 72 Hawaii On Feb 6, 2019, at 17:24, Barry Ferguson seagasm@...
